+# Kubernetes
+The following talks about two different topics (it is highly encourged to watch a short [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PziYflu8cB8) on Kubernetes before continuing):
+
+1. How to setup minikube and how to use Backstage to monitor pods that are running inside of Kubernetes.
+2. How to run Backstage itself inside of the minikube cluster (and still be able to monitor the pods that are running in Kubernetes, which means the first step is a pre-requisite of this step).
+The reason for having the second step is more for testing purposes because this setup is the closest to the actual production environment 
+
+> Note again here the second step is only true if we actually host Backstage in the same cluster as the other deployments
+
+## Setup with `minikube`
+Pre-requisite: Docker installed
+
+To setup minikube and the [Kubernetes plugin](https://backstage.io/docs/features/kubernetes/) so that we can monitor Kubernetes pods 
+through Backstage we need to do the following:
+1. Install `kubectl`
+    <br>
+    1.1 Install the correct version of `kubectl` depending on your operation system: [linux](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/), 
+    [macOS](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-macos/) or [windows](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-windows/). On macOS installing with
+    homebrew is recommended by me.
+    <br>
+    1.2 Quick Note about `kubectl`: `kubectl` is the cli tool that can interact with an existing Kubernetes cluster and it has different `contexts` for different cluster. 
+    If this is your first time installing `kubectl` and you most likely do not have a cluster that you are connected to at this point, we will set up a local cluster with `minikube`
+    in the following setup, and that will automatically set your context to the correct cluster (in this case `minikube`).
+    To see all your contexts run `kubectl config get-contexts`.
+2. Install `minikube`
+    <br>
+    2.1 Follow [this guide](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/#installation) to install minikube and also how to run minikube inside of a docker, make sure you install minikube for the correct system.
+    Installing on macOS with homebrew is recommended by me.
+    <br>
+    2.2 Start minikube clutser with `minikube start` (can take a few minutes)
+    <br>
+    NOTE: If you have installed kubectl, `minikube start` will automatically set your current context to the `minikube` context!
+    <br>
+    2.3 To test if the installation worked run: `kubectl get pods -A` and you should have an output similiar to this:
+    ```
+    NAMESPACE     NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS        AGE

+    kube-system   storage-provisioner                1/1     Running   1 (9m39s ago)   9m56s
+    ```
+3. Setup `minikube` for Backstage
+    <br>
+    <br>
+    **3.1 Create a service account so that backstage can access the cluster**
+    ```sh
+    kubectl apply -f minikube/clusterrolebinding.yaml
+
+    kubectl get secrets cluster-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data['token']}" | base64 --decode; echo
+    ```
+    copy and paste that token in the K8S_ACCOUNT_TOKEN environment variable in your .env
+    <br>
+    <br>
+    **3.2 Get the certificate authority for minikube**
+    ```sh
+    cat ~/.minikube/ca.crt | base64
+    ```
+    copy and paste that certificate in the K8S_CA_DATA environment variable in your .env
+    <br>
+    <br>
+    **3.3 Get the URL that `minikube` is running on**
+    ```sh
+    kubectl cluster-info
+    ```
+    copy and paste the first URL in the K8S_URL environment variable in your .env
+    <br>
+    <br>
+    **3.4 Run pod in `minikube` to be inspected by `Backstage`**
+    ```sh
+    kubectl apply -f minikube/test-deployment.yaml
+    ```
+    
+> NOTE: we leave the K8S_CA_FILE environment variable empty for now because that is only needed if you run Backstage in the cluster, 
+for now it is recommended only to run it [locally](#running-with-yarn-dev) or run in [docker](#running-with-docker-compose) to be able to run it inside of minikube read [here](#running-with-minikube)
+
+4. [Run](#running-environments) backstage (recommended [locally](#running-with-yarn-dev))
+    <br>
+    NOTE: If you want to run backstage inside of the docker container you need to change the K8S_URL variable to: https://host.docker.internal:[YOUR-PORT]
+    <br>
+
+    4.1 Click on `test-minikube`
+    <br>
+    <img height="200" alt="img" src="./images/backstage-example.svg">
+
+    4.2 Click on `Kubernetes`
+    <br>
+    <img height="150" alt="img" src="./images/backstage-kubernetes.svg">

+    4.3 Now you should see this:
